The origin of the pencil manufacture in Portugal dates back to 1907 when Conselheiro Figueiredo Faria decided, with his partner, the French Engineer Jules Cacheux, to build an industrial unit for the manufacture of pencils in Vila do Conde called “Faria, Cacheux & Cª” also known as Portugália.
In the 70’s the pencil factory becomes autonomous and is renamed to Viarco – Indústria de Lápis, Lda (Viarco – Pencil Industry, Lda).
